## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive, a prominent public authority within the central government, based in Bootle, Merseyside, has completed the procurement process for the Pesticide Usage Survey (PUS). The contract, which falls under the category of services in agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services, was awarded to RSK ADAS LIMITED. This award was dated 24th March 2026 and is set to commence on 10th April 2026, with the contract running for an initial period of three years, potentially extending for up to nine years subject to financial approval. The procurement process utilised an open procedure, reflecting a comprehensive approach to gather pesticide usage data across various sectors in the UK, facilitated by a cycle of surveys since the 1960s.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the agricultural and environmental sectors, particularly those specialising in survey and data collection services. RSK ADAS LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise, exemplifies a potential supplier type thriving in such public contracts, indicating that SMEs with expertise in environmental data and monitoring systems may find growth opportunities in similar government-led initiatives. This project allows businesses to engage in the significant task of evaluating pesticide impact, providing critical data that informs policy and compliance at an international level, thus generating long-term business relationships and stability in a dynamic field.

## Notice

The Pesticide Usage Survey (PUS) is a voluntary (to pesticide users) post-approval monitoring programme which dates back to the 1960s. A cycle of surveys is carried out, where data is collected from a selection of pesticide users, representing different crop and amenity sectors, across the UK. This data is raised to give national estimates of pesticide use. Pesticide usage data helps to: * inform policy and other deliberations, answer questions and meet international reporting obligations on the application and impact of regulatory processes relating to pesticides (including methods of insect, weed and disease control); * inform programs that monitor the impact of pesticides on human health and the environment (for example, in foodstuffs and/or waterbodies); * provide a basis for wider research related to pesticide use and impact. The programme currently collects data: * every two years for arable crops, edible protected crops, outdoor vegetable crops, soft fruit, orchards and potato stores; * every four years for grassland and fodder crops and amenity use; and * annually on aerial applications
